SVEN UNVEILS HIS SECRET WEAPON: ROBOTS


In a bid to win the World Cup, England is planning to field a team of look-a-like robots following the injury to Wayne Rooney.
The bionic Rooney, seen here in training with bionic John Terry and bionic Rio Ferdinand, looks almost identical to the real thing, though doesn't have spots or a rubbish bird who likes shopping, and is a bit broader across the shoulders.
"We've got the people from Madame Tussauds coming in to finish them off," said our FA insider. "They can't speak, but apart from that, they're the real deal. They never get tired, do what they are told, and you can put them in the boot of a car and take them home with you after the game."
Quite handy indeed.
"Plus the John Terry isn't on the phone to the bookies at half time either," he added. So what about the Rio one? "Sven turns him off and use him as a scarecrow in the garden," he told W.C.R.
Latest news is that the real Rooney is most likely NOT gonna make the finals.

What do you make of Sven, as a manager not as some tabloid hate figure?

If I were marking him out of ten, I'd give him a 7. He's had probably the most talented bunch of England players to work with for over 30 years. Some would say that means we should have done better. His good points are that he picks the right team, most of the time, and that he lets the players believe in themselves. However, as a tactician and motivator on match days, I think he's pretty average. England have looked in trouble whenever a side gets the upper hand, and short of ideas beyond plan A. They've relied on individuals more than ideas to battle back and win. If the same is true this summer, I think we'll make the quarters, even without Rooney, but beyond that I'm unsure, without luck, that we'll get any further.
